Bryce Harper is known for making MLB news on the diamond, but no one could have included the Phillies slugger in their offseason MLB picks and predictions for being the latest food blogger to catch viral fire.

 

Barista Bryce

Many professional athletes are unrelatable to the average fan. Sure, we root for them, bet on them—or against them—but we’ll never be able to do what they do athletically because we weren’t lucky enough to hit the gene pool jackpot.

Of course, with that world-class talent comes all the fame, fortune, and hero worship one could ever want while the rest of us do our 9 to 5, pay our bills, and talk about the price of gasoline. Most of us live a rather ho-hum existence, but one thing we do have in common with these elite athletes is that we all need to eat.

Enter Bryce Harper.

We know Harper as being the young prodigy who arrived on the MLB scene like a supernova and now, at the age of 32, has 1653 MLB games under his belt and is an 8x All-Star. But what we didn’t know is that the man is a pure and unadulterated foodie! What were the MLB odds on that happening in the winter chill of the offseason?

That’s right, Harper decided to post a few vlogs on TikTok with the hashtag “BaristaBryce,” and fans are loving it. Those few vlogs have turned into dozens where Harper shares his culinary expertise by making everything from coffee drinks to banana bread.

People Are Talking

Perhaps the best thing about Harper’s recent vlogs is not his expertise in the kitchen but his connection to the audience. He comes across as the guy you’d love to have a beer with at the neighborhood bar or, more apropos, a venti latte at Starbucks.

Despite making north of $25 million per year, it’s easy to see the man comes from good stock. His father was an ironworker, and if he’s been gentrified by his enormous paycheck, it certainly isn’t apparent in his videos. The man seems to be more blue-collar than blue-blood, and people are here for all of it.

Some of the comments have been hilarious.

Not in a million years would I have ever guessed that I’d open TikTok to a Bryce Harper latte video,” the all-star responded, “Same man. Same.

MLB rumors have been surfacing about the Phillies’ chances this upcoming season, and there was also speculation as to Harper’s raccoon eyes in the video.

Dude looks like he got bit in a zombie movie,” quipped one poster.

Other viewers posted:

Has he not slept in weeks?

I know that morning feeling.

(He) looks cooked.

His eyes say he definitely needs that coffee!

We can tell bro ain’t been sleeping he might need to lay off the coffee.

Get some sleep brother, stop drinking coffee.

Bryce Harper is a man in the kitchen and a man of the people!
